Chicken Alfredo Baked Pasta Recipe

I was looking for a recipe to use up the rest of my Baby Bella Mushrooms(otherwise known as Crimini Mushrooms) and found this recipe from Sandra Lee's semi homemade magazine. This was an easy recipe using a rotisserie chicken and bottled Alfredo sauce. It came together quickly and tasted great. It was a little higher in calories so not a recipe I'll make all the time..but still a recipe that I would make again.

In a large pot bring chicken broth and water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook till al dente about 7 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain pasta.

In medium skillet cook panko over medium heat about 4 minutes until lightly toasted, stirring often. Set aside. Then in the same pan melt the butter and add the carrots and mushrooms. Saute about 5 minutes until softened.

Totally love the idea of cooking the pasta in broth & the baking part. we've been doing a lot of chicken alfredo lately with low fat ragu and ready-made chick strips. I am all about the short cuts. 9loving your blog by the way! ~Kat from FB) )
